Humbert Allen Astredo is in his 90's. While waiting for obit to load... Do I tend to go for shows with women at least partly in charge, without knowing it? Could be. Though I only latched onto Doctor Who in the late 70s, in its original form in the early-mid 1960's, another groundbreaking woman in TV, Verity Lambert, produced it, and came up it all its now-familiar traditions. So I could have been responding to that even after several changes in producers.
